Combined, that sounds like a game about a fish.

There will probably just be one more piece of hardware, something thinking about the transition to PC and that's it.

That's kinda what Sega did with the Saturn in the West way before the Dreamcast launched.

Predicts the worst decade for Sony starting 2022
Even if they build a new Xbox their latest price models show that they are out of touch. $800 for a Series X? They must be smoking crack! Their new console would cost more than a high end PC.
They need an entirely new leadership from the top to the bottom. The current leadership has ran the X box name into the ground. Too much focus on DEI and not enough focus on Quality.

"first-party consoles" doing a LOT of work here.

Too much company culture focused on "spending the competition out of business" and putting more investment into PR than industry cultivation.
We see it time and time again with them.

Once they use a Windows version and hardware standard enough to run regular unmodified PC versions then they'll struggle to call it a console.
Backwards compatibility has been gone before on consoles so that has nothing to do with it.

It would take both engineering and legal genius to outdesign a Sony handheld. It's not impossible, but Sony have decades of experience and patents that make a truly dedicated Xbox handheld a difficult proposition.
Xbox had no answer for the PS Portal. If we assume that the PlayStation handheld will be a supercharged version of the Portal -- untethered gaming, compatible with past and future software, all of the DualSense features including new features like buttons that light up -- then Xbox are in big trouble.

Because they were forced to do so.
The RRoD problem was known before, as far is i know.
Boris Schneider-Johne worked from 2002 on for 8 years as Xbox PR Manager and Product Manager and said something in a podcast.
Imagine the shit storm, without MS "consumer friendly support" because of the RRoD.
I had a RRoD 360 too and they replaced it, because they were forced to so and not because they liked me.

It could also be done by Phil himself by paying them himself or promising bonuses.

I am almost sure that Amy Hood or new MS business chief will do the maths and when they see that new Xbox will lose billions regardless, they will pull the plug on dedicated hardware very swiftly, even cosidering the termination fees. If it sinks and lose money anyway, why wait. It's easier to write-off the losses till AI bubble in not busted, at least you can soften the blow with free hype Copilot money.

It is astonishing how much Don Mattrick fucked Microsoft. The Xbox One / PS4 gen was the most important generation to lose, since that's when customers started to get locked into the ecosystems by building their digital libraries and shit. And then Phil phinished it off by looking at fucking Netflix of all places and thought "what if Netflix but gaming!".
And even more astonishing is that Steve Ballmer and Satellite Nutella just let everything happen.

2025 and we still blaming Don. It has ALWAYS been Phil.

At least Mattrick provided his platform with actual exclusive launch titles.

Don's actions fucked Microsoft quite a bit after the stellar Xbox 360 generation. Phil's strategy didn't fare much better, though.

Already posted this in another Gamepass thread but pertains to Hardware as well:
By raising the price of Gamepass by 50% ($20 to $30) they are just trying to make as much profit off the backs of their existing user base now, because in 2 years they won't have a user base.
When PS6 is announced people will be clamoring for Xbox to announce their next console, and they will pretend for 3 months like they have something coming, and then it will be Dreamcast all over again. They will announce there is no next console, and Gamepass is cancelled, and they are just a games publisher now. They will make a lot more money selling COD and Bethesda games and Blizzard games for $80 each on PC and Playstation and Switch 2.
They needed Gamepass to become ubiquitous like Netflix and it didn't happen. This Price increase Guarantees it will never happen and proves they aren't even trying anymore.

It's pretty difficult to strategize out of being buried alive.
Phil had options, this is just an excuse for poor management.
I recently listened to Steve Kent's History of Video Games volume 1 and 2. In the second volume he goes into great detail about the RROD. Caused due to Microsoft going cheap on testing the hardware from a Canadian company, they didn't want to pay for it and broke the contract. So they did like 10% of the usual amount contracted and called it a day.
They also knew internally about the problem for a while, but their engineers couldn't figure out the cause. So they lied to the public pretty much and tried to put on a straight face. Until it spread too far and was too well known. Some famous guy went through 5 RROD consoles.
The story has been spun in the past decade about MS being heroes and doing it off their own backs.

I'm assuming by Canadian company you mean ati, but it wasn't really ATI's fault either. Flip chips from certain die packaging companies used a bad underfill formulation. This happened way up the supply chain and affected nvidia too. Ylod and the failing apple nvidia laptop gpus were all caused by the same defect as rrod. Commonly referred to as "bumpgate" if you want to look into it.

Because is trying to hide that for the next generation will market OEM manufacturers built consoles like Asus Rog Ally (plus home console shaped consolized PCs running Windows) as 'first-party' 'consoles'.
